Crandall, who is not an attorney, faced allegations he improperly intervened and granted a lenient disposition in a traffic case involving the son of a former member of the Coeymans Town Board; failed to disqualify himself from, and granted a lenient disposition in, a matter involving his brother-in-law; and improperly intervened and invoked his judicial office in a dispute between the local police, and his daughter and son-in-law.

The commission said Crandall also failed to disqualify himself from a traffic case involving Coeymans Town Board member Thomas Dolan, who got a speeding ticket in June 2012. Dolan, who was elected to a four-year term in 2011 and campaigned with Crandall, participates in setting the judge's salary, Tembeckjian said.

Crandall also agreed not to seek or accept judicial office in the future, Tembeckjian said.
